On the stand today we have an honored guest from our city; a gentleman that has lived in this valley for 100 years, and is therefore the oldest known living citizen of Heber City. I would like to welcome and introduce to you Mr. Don Hicken. Mr. Hicken’s family has put together a short tribute about Mr. Hicken’s life in Heber City that I would like to share with you.
​Don Leroy Hicken, was born January 10, 1914 in Heber City, Utah, to Joseph Claudius Hicken and Verna May Mahoney. He had one brother, Cyril Hicken and three sisters; Venice Watson, Nelda Rawlinson and Yvonne Horner. He married Mima Broadbent in June of 1936. They had two sons, Lynn Hicken and Dee Hicken. Don worked with his father and family in the poultry business. They had 16 chicken coops with 300 chickens per coop. He remembers gathering eggs twice a day. He and his Dad started Heber Truck Line, the first trucking company in Heber. He made the daily trip to Provo for years. He drove from the time he was a young teenager until he was 99 years old. He worked with his family in the Hicken Feed and Produce Company until he was called on an LDS mission. Don left his wife and two young boys to serve a mission in the Eastern States. Mima started teaching school to support the family and Don's mission. When Don returned home he continued to operate Heber Truck Line and also started the Heber Valley Floral Company. Don served as a Bishop in the LDS Church. He and Mima also served a mission together in Fiji. Don has been an important part of Heber and its history.
